Health Benefits of Spring Cleaning

Some days might not feel like it, but spring has finally arrived. After yet another harsh winter, I think we’re all ready for some much needed warm weather. It’s time to get the shorts and t-shirts out of the closet and get outside! Spring seemed to take forever to get here but, it’s now here and that means it’s time for spring cleaning! Some of us love it, some of us hate it. However, I’m sure we can all agree that our homes have felt the wrath of another long winter. Whether you love it or hate it, Spring cleaning has many healthy benefits that many people over look. We are going to go over some of the healthy benefits that come with spring cleaning.

Reduce Allergens

Did you know that thoroughly cleaning your home can help with your allergies? Allergens like to trap themselves in fabrics such as carpets and furniture. Carpet cleaning or upholstery cleaning are both great ways to reduce lingering dust, pollen and even mold that has been hanging around all winter.

Bacteria No More!

Just like allergens, bacteria likes to linger around and continue to cause health issues even after the flu season has passed. You know how the doctors tell you to change your pillow cases after getting over an illness? Well, the same applies for things such as carpets, furniture, bedding and many other items in your home. Spring cleaning gives you a healthier living environment that will leave your family illness free and ready to enjoy the beautiful weather.

Calmness

One thing that many people over look is the ability spring cleaning has to produce a calming effect that allows you to focus on the important things. A clean, clutter free home will leave you feeling calm and you will find yourself with more time to get the things you need to get done accomplished.

Relieves Stress

There are millions of ways to reduce stress, whether it be lifting weights, running or even playing golf. But, did you know that for many people, cleaning is a great stress reliever? Studies have shown that when cleaning, you think less about the worries in your life and focus on the task at hand.

Exercise

Spring cleaning gives you a great time to get some exercise in! The energy you exert doing common household cleaning burns more calories than you may think. If you’re someone who hates cleaning, look at it as a good time to get some exercise in for the day.

You can love it, or hate it but, it needs to be done.
